Welcome to WhatApp Payments

WhatsApp is preparing to introduce payments to its messaging app, making it the latest service to let users transfer money to one another with a text. 

A beta version of WhatsApp's next update revealed the service could soon support payments. Pictures emerged of a "Welcome to WhatsApp Payments" screen, which was discovered by the blog WABetaInfo.

WhatsApp, which has more than a billion users a day, is trialing "immediate bank to bank transfer with UPI". UPI, or Unified Payments Interface, is a payments system run by the Reserve Bank of India, which appears to confirm reports that the payments service would be coming to India first.
